1. Home Buying: Defining The Financial Terms

The FEEL of the house

I tell clients the FEEL of the property is the most important part of the home buying experience. Over the years I have seen how often the right home seems to carry the right atmosphere for the owners. Many times when things are not going right, for some strange reason many times changing the home and giving everything a shake up, seems to put new positive life and energy into everything. There are lots of superstitions out there that at first seemed to be very odd, but after reviewing a bit further at the history of properties it makes you wonder. Feeling happy in the house is the most important thing.

Door to Door Sales

Have you ever had an aggressive door to door sale person? particularly, those selling water heaters? Here is what Enbridge recommends to do:

KNOW WHO’S AT YOUR DOOR

"Direct Energy does not go door-to-door to upgrade or exchange water heaters" We do not authorize any Utility, Government Agency or any other company to do so on our behalf.

Enbridge Gas Distribution does not sell, rent or service water heaters.

DON’T SIGN WITHOUT THE FACTS

Signing a contract at the door means you are changing service providers. This may jeopardize your current competitive rates and worry-free service including Direct Energy’s exclusive Same Day Service.

DON’T LET JUST ANYONE IN

Only a licensed technician should access your Direct Energy water heater and only by appointment.

***Did you know that water heater contractors can not install a new water heater until 20 days "after" you have signed a contract? Read more details Here

DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING UNTIL YOU HAVE READ ALL THE CONTRACTS (and the fine print)

Market Watch

Tight Market Conditions Prompt Strong Price GrowthMay 6, 2014 -- Toronto Real Estate Board President Dianne Usher announced that during April – the first full month of spring – Greater Toronto REALTORS® reported a 1.8 per cent year-over-year increase in sales through the TorontoMLS system. Total April 2014 sales amounted to 9,706, compared to 9,535 transactions in April 2013.

“April marked the beginning of the spring market, during which time we generally see the highest monthly sales totals in a given year. Despite the persistent shortage of listings, a substantial number of GTA residents were able to come to terms on a home that met their needs. However, sales levels would have been higher, but for the lack of supply,” said Ms. Usher.

“A number of factors underlie the constrained supply of listings. Studies and polling suggest that the additional upfront land transfer tax in the City of Toronto has prompted some households to stay put and renovate rather than list their home and move. In the broader GTA context, above trend home sales in the years leading up to the recession have meant that many households who purchased during this period simply aren't ready to move again,” continued Ms. Usher.

The average selling price for April 2014 sales was $577,898 – up by 10.1 per cent compared to the April 2013 average of $524,868. The MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) Composite Benchmark was up by seven per cent year-over-year. The MLS® HPI strips away price fluctuations resulting from a change in the mix of home types sold from one period to the next.

“Price growth for the GTA as a whole was driven by the single-detached, semi-detached and townhouse market segments in the City of Toronto. So far this year, there has been no relief on the listings front for these home types in many neighbourhoods in Toronto and surrounding regions. Until we see a marked and sustained increase in listings, we should expect to see the annual rate of price growth above the long-term norm,” said Jason Mercer, the Toronto Real Estate Board’s Senior Manager of Market Analysis.
